Third party cookies
You may notice some other cookies that are not related to the Urban Cure CIC’s website. Some of our pages contain embedded content such as YouTube video, Twitter feeds, Facebook likes or Google+ shares, and you may receive cookies delivered from these websites.

Tracking technologies
We also use first and third party technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons to track and improve the user experience on our websites, marketing emails, the quality of our service and to monitor the effectiveness of campaigns and digital marketing activity.
We may use these technologies to:
See what website content is popular and how people are using the site as they allow us to track users’ movement through our websites. This type of information is amalgamated so that we can build up a picture of how the site is performing.
Make sure we offer you a consistent service. For example, if we are testing new website content or we want to run a survey, we use tracking to remember what content you have seen or if you have already been asked to join a survey.
In addition, when we email you, we may place a tag (also known as a ‘tracking pixel’) on a direct marketing email that we send out. These let us monitor performance of our email marketing activity.
